(eg. description of the frequency and severity of the symptoms
On May 24, 2011 the owner noticed the guinea fowl was recumbent. Later that day, the owner contacted the Animal Product Safety Service (APSS) to obtain help. The APSS veterinarian stated that Methomyl is highly toxic to birds. The APSS technician recommended taking the guinea fowl to the veterinarian and having the veterinarian call for information.
